Hot Stone Massage

Hot Stone Massage in Airdrie

Back in the day, Native Americans used hot stones to relieve tight muscles. This technique is still popular today and used in a hot stone massage. At its core, a hot stone massage involves smooth, heated stones rubbed all over the body.

Here at Anna’s Spa and Wellness Centre, we are thrilled to offer hot stone massage to men and women in Airdrie and the surrounding areas. Let’s dive deeper into how a hot stone massage works and how you may benefit from this unique treatment.

What to Expect During a Hot Stone Massage

During a hot stone massage, one of our experienced, licensed massage therapists will place warm, flat stones on different locations throughout your body. These stones will be anywhere between 110 and 130 degrees Fahrenheit, a safe range for warming your muscles without burning your skin.

The therapist may place your stones along your back, chest, feet, palms, and even your face. Once the stones heat your muscles, they will begin a customized massage to address your specific concerns and goals. You’ll find that your warm muscles will enhance the benefits of the massage experience.

Why receive a Hot Stone Massage

No matter your age or current health status, a hot stone massage has the potential to improve your overall quality of life. Here are several of the most noteworthy benefits of a hot stone massage.

  • Improved Circulation
    Poor circulation can lead to tense muscles and fatigue. The good news is hot stone massage can help. The heat from the stones will penetrate through your muscles to open up your blood vessels. As this occurs, your blood will flow more freely through your body, allowing for better circulation. Improved circulation may encourage more oxygen to reach your muscles and alleviate aches and pains.
  • Reduced Stress
    The combination of warmth and massage can melt your stress away. You’ll find the light pressure from the stones to be soothing and be able to leave your worries behind you while taking a much needed escape from reality. Hot stone massage may also reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression.
  • Enhanced Sleep Quality
    Anxiety and pain can take a toll on your sleep. By receiving a hot stone massage on a regular basis, you can reduce those symptoms. Since you’ll likely feel less tense and more relaxed, you’ll set yourself for consistent nights of restful sleep.
  • Less Pain
    If you suffer from achy joints or back or neck pain, a hot stone massage is ideal. In most cases, a traditional massage won’t be enough to loosen your muscles and effectively relieve pain. Targeted heat in a hot stone massage can warm your muscles so that the therapist can work deeper into your tissue and relieve any pain you’re experiencing.
  • Increased Flexibility
    Stiff joints can make it a real challenge to complete everyday tasks like bathing, cooking, and cleaning. With regular hot stone massage, your joints will relax and allow you to move with less pain and friction. As a result, your flexibility will improve over time.
